Old Philosophical Question
Let's pretend that you are living during the Holocaust and you are hiding with a group of 20 or so people in a hollowed out wall. With you is your 3 week old baby. All of a sudden you hear noises at the door and realize that it is a pair of Nazi soldiers coming to inspect the house and will send everyone who is found to a concentration camp to die. Your baby, sensing something is wrong, starts to cry. You have two options:
1) Let your baby cry, and be sure that all of you will be caught and killed
2) Smother your baby, killing it but saving everyone else
Well?
